[icann-see] SEEDIG's contribution to the IGF - submitted version

[Sorina Teleanu]

Dear all,

We are glad to inform you that SEEDIG's contribution to the IGF
inter-sessional programme on Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the
Next Billion has been finalised and submitted to the IGF Secretariat.

We would like to thank all those who have commented on the draft version
previously shared via this list. The final contribution (attached)
incorporates most of the proposed edits and suggestions.
With regard to the comments on the connection between cybersecurity and the
digital divide, we have decided not to add any additional text on this in
our submission, for two reasons: the issue has not been addressed during
the digital divide session at the SEEDIG meeting, and we think this is a
rather complex matter that would require further consideration from the
broader community (possible in the context of future SEEDIG activities).

Please feel free to make use of this contribution and distribute it within
your communities.

Best regards,

Sorina
(on behalf of SEEDIG executive committee)

Dear all,

Although we have not received any input in response to the call below, we
have given it a try ourselves and prepared a draft SEEDIG contribution to
the IGF inter-sessional programme on Policy Options for Connecting and
Enabling the Next Billion. This draft contribution is a reflection of the
discussions held during the digital divide session
<http://www.seedig.net/seedig-2016-session-2/> at SEEDIG 2016.

Before submitting it to the IGF Secretariat, *we would like to share this
draft with you and kindly ask for your feedback. *You can make comments and
edits on the text directly (please use track changes), or send us your
suggestions by email, via this list.

Please note that the draft contribution is merely an extensive summary of
the afore-mentioned session. It does not claim to provide a comprehensive
overview of the situation in SEE and the neighbouring area when it comes to
access and digital divide. However, should you wish to add new points to
what is now included in the draft, you are welcome to do so.

The deadline for comments is next* Monday, 12 September. *

Thank you and we hope to hear from you.

Best regards,

Sorina
